Do clamp-on down tube shifters require that little brazed-on "catch" on the underside of the down tube, that is, can they be clamped on without the bottom of the clamp riding on that little catch of metal? Or, can they be simply bolted on to a smooth down tube without the risk of slipping down on the down tube? Make sense? Thanks- Vincent Connelly
